The Big Apple (& the Tree)

Some say it's sad when the apple falls far from the tree but of course that all depends on the tree.This week former Mayor of the Big Apple, Rudolph Giuliani learned that his youngest child, daughter Caroline was arrested for shoplifting at an uptown Sephora outlet.Sephora corporate headquarters said, upon learning her identity that they do not wish to press charges. But since the former first daughter of the city was taken away by the police the matter is now public and the damage has been done.No statement was issued by the former Mayor's people and no requests for comment have been returned.The young Harvard University student, Caroline is 20 went quietly with the police.So a young lady of a well to do family goes astray and attempts to steal inexpensive items.She feels she is above the law and entitled merely because of her name.She is arrogant and by her actions contemptuous of societal mores.She tries to game the system and hide her true self.Hey wait, maybe this apple didn't fall all that far from the tree after all.

HERE IS A COMMENT LEFT ON FACEBOOK ABOUT THIS STORY:It is so true! I read this article this morning in the post and I was telling my husband, it is not the money it's the thrill (to get away without paying.) HOWEVER this "thrill" is not worth any money in the world if you have to exchange this foolish behavior for a police record and worse getting out of your wrong doing with hand cuffs not to talk about your parents and family embarrassment. And all this for $100-$150.It is a shame that people are not thinking that it wrong to steal and about the consequences. Stupid !!!

I just had a thought - Suppose this was all just "Field Work" for a criminal justice class she is taking at Harvard?She may end up with an "A!"(And in two months Harvard will receive a large donation from an anonymous source who used to be high up in the Republican Party.)What? It could happen1

IT'S FUN TO BE IN THE?

THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!

WORK FANTASY!

NO BOSS IN AMERICA WOULD STOOP TO GIVING A WORKER A FREAKING PENNY LET ALONE A MINUTE OFF! THIS IS A CUTE CARTOON BUT IT'S ALSO SCIENCE FICTION!!!

TRUER JOKE NEVER TOLD!

This is basically what happened to me when the prick child who I worked for needed cash to renovate his duplex apartment for 5 million bucks - may he rot in f'n hell! BUT I SWEAR I'M NOT BITTER :-)

FOWL RETRIBUTION

I SWEAR IT WAS SELF DEFENSE! NOW LET'S EAT! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

Editor's Note:

I miss the good old days when our leaders at least made an attempt to govern. These days all they seem to do is campaign for re-election the day after they get into office! They are funded by special interest groups and multinational humongously profitable corporations who could lower our deficit drastically if they just paid their fair share of taxes.

An honest buck for an honest day's work is also a relic of the past.

And while Gordon Gekko's "Greed is good" phrase may not be politically correct it sure as hell is a political way of life!

YOU ARE HERE

AND, FOR THAT MATTER, SO AM I SO WHAT SAY WE TRY TO PRESERVE THE PLACE?

ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

HUMOR OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS!

WAR ON CHRISTMAS?

NAH, JUST A LITTLE FUN WITH SANTA!

America - Love it OR DIE!

Does the GOP think poor people should die?
While we in America hope that we have separated Church and State obviously that never actually happens. But when the people who run or try to run the country act like mindless uncaring barbarians should we not wish them to have just a modicum of compassion?
These people consider themselves religious?

NEVER MORE TRUE THAN NOW

WHEN WILL AMERICANS WAKE UP?

An Angel Departs Earth

About Me

I am very organized and logical, sometimes to a fault and also opinionated, as are we all. I love humor and have a strange sense of it. I try to be funny without being too stupid and annoying but sometimes fail. Perhaps too many things upset me but for the most part I try to turn them into humorous pieces.I have a great wife (attorney - Sue) and two great kids (Sara - Neuro-psychology & Rich - Writer/Blogger.)

The Name is Changed - The Thoughts are Not

For what is a man, what has he got?If not himself, then he has naught.To say the things he truly feels;And not the words of one who kneels.The record shows I took the blowsAnd posted my blog!

Good News / Bad News

FUNNY THING AS AN OLD GUY I UNDERSTAND THE GOOD NEWS PART OF THIS FAR MORE THAN THE BAD NEWS!!!

Always knew he'd get off but the song was too good to remove! Dominique nique nique - He had sex without consent - He went and raped his maid; Now his address will be jail and his roommate will be male - And each night he will get laid! (Oh well, naturally he will get off without so much as a slap on his penis. But at least I had fun with the song.)
